Ain’t Misbehavin’: A Gentle Introduction to the IEEE Standard for Fail-Safe Design of Autonomous and Semi-Autonomous Systems

Ken Wallace (Chair, IEEE P7009 Working Group) presented “Ain’t Misbehavin’: A Gentle Introduction to the IEEE Standard for Fail-Safe Design of Autonomous and Semi-Autonomous Systems” on 19 November 2024 as a Guest Lecture at an IEEE UK and Ireland SSIT Chapter Meeting. This lecture was moderated by Miriam Cunningham, UK and Ireland SSIT Chapter Chair.

Guest Lecture Focus
A product of the IEEE Global Initiative on Ethics of Autonomous and Intelligent Systems, IEEE Std 7009-2024 establishes a requirement-based framework for the design of fail-safe autonomous and semi-autonomous systems. Both the standard and associated evidence base are freely available for download.
The focus of the lecture will be on the means by which the standard, and in-work extensions to it, can address the range of emerging challenges in respect of safety arising from the unfolding 'Cambrian explosion' of AI powered autonomous systems.
